ADHD Treatment

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, known as ADHD, is a neurobehavioral condition where inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity interferes with daily activities. ADHD can be diagnosis in both children and adults and often times, is a lifelong condition.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, an estimated 2.5 percent of adults and 5 percent of children have ADHD. Furthermore, two-thirds or more of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms in adulthood. Contrary to popular belief, ADHD occurs in both men and women.

At The Phoenix Recovery Center, we offer individualized treatment programs for mental health disorders, including treatment for ADHD. In addition, we know and understand the science of chemical dependency with its associated neurological changes and its impact upon the pleasure system, emotions, learning, memory, motivation, and most importantly, the ability to exercise choice. We know and understand the biological and psychological science that support treatments in trauma, emotional disorders, and other mental health concerns.
